That the country is all very nice—
But I’d much rather mix with my kind.
Yes; to-day—if I meet with a train—
I will fly from these hills and these dells;
And to-night I will sleep once again
(Happy thought!) within sound of Bow Bells.
From Carols of Cockayne, by Henry S. Leigh. London, Chatto and Windus, 1874.
